Once you got his respect for putting in the effort, there was not a better teacher in the world to learn from. No, he never sugar coated things, but I never learned more from any other numismatist than him. Now, I am not calling Doug a grumpy old SOB, but.... ;) No, Doug is old school and talks straight. Way too many people in this world and hobby simply want it sugar coated and be told "how wonderful they are doing" and "look how smart you are" constantly like some would like.
